Sales History

Description

Here's a cracking offer. Very rare that you see us offering inbred bloodlines like this for sale

Father of the YB's is 16P04544

FULL BROTHER to “CHAMPION EDDY”. This fella is classy

He’s winner of 11 x 1st clubs

5 x 1st Federation on 5 different winds

***West Midlands Region Sprint Champion 2013***

He’s bred winners with every hen he’s been mated to

For instance a Daughter of “EDDY” won 1st Federation Frome for us in September 2017

Another daughter won 1st Federation Wincanton when “EDDY” was mated to a different hen.

What makes “EDDY” and this line of pigeon so special is that they have the ability to win when you would say they have no right to do so. “EDDY” won the Federation (often 2,000+ birds) when he was flying to one of the most Westerly loft locations in the Fed. Yet he topped it on a North wind, a South wind, an East wind and also a brutal Westerly wind.

When his children won the Federation there was again West in the wind too.

Virtually every week that goes by we time brothers/sisters/sons/daughters/g.children/nephews and nieces to “CHAMPION EDDY”.They come in all weathers, all winds, all kinds of velocities.

Here's a little report on "CHAM:PION EDDY" - Back in those days we used to refer to him by his loft nickname of "J2o"

They don’t just win for us though. “EDDY” and the cock for sale here go back to our old Gaby’s that flew so well for us. In his pedigree you’ll find “PALE RIDER” and her nest brother “MANSELL” (One of the best nest-pairs EVER to leave M & D Evans). There’s also “THE ASSASSIN”, “MEGS”, “BOBBY DAZZLER” and “GARETH GATES” etc.. These pigeons were truly special and continue to win right now for us and other fanciers.

Only a few weeks ago our friends McGimpsey Bros in Northern Ireland reported that their great cock

The Gaby’s have been on our garden since the late 1990’s and “THE MAGIC MAN” is right up there with the likes of “Gareth Gates”, “Merlin”, “Copper”, “Donovan”, “Hagrid” and “The Assassin”. He really is THAT good. I would say that “THE MAGIC MAN” is responsible for at least 30 x 1st prize-winners.

His father is

“MANSELL”

who was the nestmate to our all time no.1 breeding hen “PALE RIDER”. I would estimate that this pair of nestmates must be one of THE finest pair of nestmates ever to leave Myrtle Lofts. Every week we’re informed of winners.

“MANSELL” and “PALE RIDER”

are DIRECT from “BENETTON” x “SAFFRON” – so they are brother and sister to “BAND OF GOLD” for instance.

(These 4 Fed wins were on a headwind, a tailwind, an East wind and a West wind!)

1st Club 4th Fed Hullavington

1st Blandford Forum

1st Portland

1st Huilavington

1st Wincanton

1st Taunton

2nd Frome

(Plus other Federation performances)

“CHAMPION EDDY” was retired in April 2016 and has produced winners with every hen he has been mated to – up to and including 1st Federation.

“CHAMPION EDDY” and the Sire of the YB for sale here are FULL BROTHERS to

“LEE”.

In 2016 “LEE” is a winner of :

5th Club Cheltenham 166 birds (Beaten by 4 loftmates)

1st Club Kingsdown (Winning the Club by 4 clear minutes)

1st Burton Derby Federation Kingsdown 136 members sent 2,325 birds. He won this Federation by over 3 and a half minutes that day into a NNE wind

1st Club Blandford Forum

2nd Burton Derby Federation 1,800 birds into a NNW wind

The mother of “THE MAGIC MAN” is a hen we sold in 2007 “MEGS”

What a hen this is! She was sold on Elimar in 2015 at 8 years of age and was sold for a 4 figure sum. “MEGS” must be responsible for at least 85 x 1st prize-winners! Not a shock when you learn her parents are “THE ASSASIN” (Direct “SHADOW” x “EBONY”) and “BOBBY DAZZLER” (Direct “GARETH GATES” and “PALE RIDER”)

Those are just some examples. Remember, “MEGS” is also the Grand-Mother of “CHAMPION EDDY” and “LEE” above.

The father of “MEGS” is “ASSASSIN”. A 2000 DIRECT SON of “SHADOW” x “EBONY”. He was an exceptional racer for us. Yes, we raced DIRECT “SHADOW”!!

“ASSASSIN” won :

1st Open Staffordshire Moorlands Gold Ring (almost 2 minutes clear)

2nd SW Section 24th Open MNFC 2001

10th Section 25th Open MNFC 2001

In a 9 race career he won almost £2,000 before we put him to stock as a yearling. The winners that have come out of him since then would fill a book

“BOBBY DAZZLER”. Bred & Raced by us. Direct “GARETH GATES” x “PALE RIDER”. In 2007 we sold her as a yearling for £4600.00

As a youngster in 2006 she was the winner of 4 x 1st and 2 x 2nds. She won 1st Section 1st Open North Midlands Continental Yelverton. She won the race by a clear 9 minutes and 59 seconds (53 yards per minute) and recorded the fastest velocity that day out of Yelverton (7 liberations – over 5,000 birds). In addition to that effort she also put up 2 x superb efforts in the MCC.

In the MCC Portland race she competed in a very tough NW wind and won the race back into our home town by a clear 5 minutes. She finished 30th Section 43rd Open (1,140 birds) and everything that beat her was flying short of her. She also competed in the MCC Yelverton race which was a very fast affair (over 2000 ypm). In this race she finished 117th Section 165th Open (1,816 birds). On the face of it, that looks a half-hearted effort, but that doesn’t tell the story or do her justice. She arrived with a loft-mate and just as they approached the loft a local fancier a few doors away let his pigeons out for exercise (he was not racing that day). We lost a full 6 minutes trying to get these two hens to pull back out of the kit. We estimate that she would have finished in the top 10 Open!

Direct mother to “MEGS” we still receive reports each and every week of this blood winning throughout the UK

“GARETH GATES”.DIRECT SON of “WESTKAPELLE” x “SUPER GIRL 310”

As a racer he reigned. Amongst his army of cards are 1st Open 5129 birds, 1st Open 5663 birds (dropped with loftmate who was clocked for 1st Open), 4th 4650 birds, 2nd Open Shirlands Silver Ring etc.

He was the Champion Pigeon of the Worcester Federation in 2003 (Over 30 clubs averaging 5000 birds a race) and he also was a West Midlands Region Award winner in the 0-250 miles category (Approx 5,000 members competing – the largest Region in the UK).

The mother of “Westkapelle” is “Fieneke 311”. This is a marvellously well bred pigeon – phenomenal in fact! She is a direct daughter of the Champion hen “Fieneke 5000”. This is one of the best hens of all time! She won 23 x 1st , 1st Provincial 5,878 birds, 1st S.National 7,765 birds, 1st Provincial 10,194 birds, 1st S.National 13,700 birds, 1st S.National 4,474 birds, 1st 1,448 bids, 1st 2,861 birds, 1st 1,143 birds, 1st 1,242 birds, 2nd National 38,152 birds etc. She is a legend!! Amongst her haul of awards is 1st Olympiad Duif Halve Fond 1999 Blackpool

The mother of “Gareth Gates” is none other than

“Super Girl 310”.

Again, the credentials of this hen are truly great – and it’s little wonder that “Gareth” is so good considering the winning genes he has to call upon. The father of “Super Girl 310” is none other than “Super Gaby”. This cock is a full brother to the immortal breeding machine “Witpen Wittenbuik” (Direct from “Wittenbuik” x “Moriska”). The offspring of “Super Gaby” have won : 1st Open 6,943 birds, 1st Open 5,056 birds, 1st 15,074 birds, 2nd Open 5,056 birds

The mother of “MEGS” is our all time no.1 breeding hen “PALE RIDER”

What can we say about her? Quite simply must be one of THE best pigeons ever to have left Myrtle Lofts. I lost count some years ago of how many winners she is responsible for. When we sold her in 2007 she was our No.1 hen then. She went to our close friends GORDON BROS and SONS of NORTHERN IRELAND and she quite simply just carried on throwing exceptional pigeons until she died at a good age. To try and collate how many of her offspring have finished in the top 40 of the East Down Combine for Gordon Bros is an impossible task. Absolutely impossible. I’ll offer one example of her grand-daughter though

BRITVIC 55 was especially selected by ourselves to pair to “THE MAGIC MAN”.

She was gifted to us by the crack West Midlands partnership of Tony & Lee Painter of Willenhall. You can read more on their birds by going to www.painterpigeons.co.uk

“BRITVIC 55” was only raced as a YB and was a 1st prize-winner but she obviously excelled as a breeder being the DIRECT MOTHER to “CHAMPION EDDY” and “LEE” – see their performances much higher up this advert.

The father of “BRITVIC55” is 08F41893. He’s a DIRECT SON of “CHAMPION WILLENHALL WARRIOR”. What a pigeon this is!

“CHAMPION WILLENHALL WARRIOR”

winner of :

West Midlands Region 0-800 Champion

2nd Section 2nd Open MCC Messac

3rd Section 4th Open MCC Portland (beaten by loftmate).

10th Wolverhampton Federation Lessay 2,899 birds

2nd club Picauville

18th Wolverhampton Federation 3,079 birds

Since being retired to Stock he’s a proven Sire & G.sire of winners to all levels. Remember, his grand-daughter is the mother of “CHAMPION EDDY” and “LEE” to name but two!

The mother of “BRITVIC55” is

04E33911

What a pigeon!

She’s the actual NEST-SISTER to “CHAMPION WILLENHALL WARRIOR”

Besides “Warrior” look what this hen won in her own right
